What It Does

Core Features

Two indicators in one pane, DMI buy/sell pressure plus Fisher Transform price action trend, with built-in conflict detection, real-time labels and weak pressure warnings.

Directional Movement Index (DMI)

The bottom section of the indicator shows the DMI with a color-filled background. When the green line is above the red line and the background is green, there is more market buying than selling. When the red line is above the green line and the background is red, there is more market selling than buying.

Fisher Transform

The top section shows the Fisher Transform, which tracks the price action trend. When the lines are painted green, price action is trending up. When the lines are painted red, price action is trending down. This gives you a separate read on the directional trend independent of DMI pressure.

Caution Dots

Yellow dots appear at the bottom of the indicator when the DMI and Fisher Transform are giving opposite signals. This is a conflict warning, when you see caution dots, the buy/sell pressure and the price action trend disagree, so use caution before entering trades.

Real-Time Labels

A set of labels on the right side updates in real time so you can get a quick interpretation without analyzing the raw data:

  • Label 1 (DMI Pressure) – Green for more buying than selling, red for more selling than buying, blue for equal pressure.
  • Label 2 (Weak Pressure Warning) – Purple. Only appears when buying or selling pressure is present but the DMI value is below 20, indicating weak directional pressure.
  • Label 3 (Fisher Trend) – Green for bullish price action, red for bearish price action.
  • Label 4 (Conflict Warning) – Orange. Only appears when DMI and Fisher Transform are giving opposite signals.

The labels can be toggled on or off for better mobile viewing or personal preference.

Interpretation Guide

How to Read the Indicator

Reading the Two Sections

When to Trade

The strongest signals come when both the DMI and Fisher Transform agree on direction. DMI shows buying pressure and Fisher shows bullish price action (or both bearish). When you see caution dots or the orange conflict label, the indicators disagree and it’s best to wait for alignment before entering. If the purple weak pressure label appears, the directional pressure exists but is weak (DMI below 20), so position sizing and conviction should be adjusted accordingly.

Good To Know

Important Notes & Limitations

The DMI and Fisher Transform can and will give conflicting signals, especially during sideways or transitional markets. The caution dots and orange label exist specifically for this reason, do not ignore them.
A purple weak pressure label means the DMI directional value is below 20. The trend direction may be correct but conviction is low, size positions accordingly.
